Why is it that a ground can exist on that circuit on the left?
Why doesn't the current travel to ground instead of going through to the rest of the circuit.
In a house, I would think this would be a direct short. Is there a difference with ground when it comes to DC vs AC?
I can kinda see why it would work on the circuit on the right because current has no other way to complete the circuit. It has to travel through the earth or grounded frame of metal to get to positive.
